James Oliver commented on KAFKA-1493:
-------------------------------------

Jun,

My pleasure. The TODOs are parts of the specification that are unimplemented, 
but are not required. I left them in there as hints if/when the spec is 
contributed back to lz4-java. The validation routines will disallow the use of 
any portion of the spec that is unimplemented, but it's totally usable.

What the spec can do - compress & decompress messages using 64kb/256kb/1mb/4mb 
blockSize (64kb by default) with optional block checksums (disabled by default)
What the spec cannot do - decompress messages compressed by an implementation 
supporting some of the missing features. If this were to occur, a 
RuntimeException with detailed information will be thrown.

> Use a well-documented LZ4 compression format and remove redundant LZ4HC option
